"A will resigned"

Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: I ask not now for gold to gild Lyrics: 1 I ask not now for gold to gild, With mocking shine, an aching frame; The yearning of the mind is stilled-- I ask not now for fame. 2 But, bowed in lowliness of mind, I make my humble wishes known; I only ask a will resigned, O Father, to thine own. 3 In vain I task my aching brain, In vain the sage's thoughts I scan; I only feel how weak I am, How poor and blind is man. 4 And now my spirit sighs for home, And longs for light whereby to see; And, like a weary child, would come, O Father, unto thee.
